"Environmental Governance" - Definition

"Multi-level interactions (i.e., local, national, international/global) among, but not limited to, three main actors, i.e., state, market, and civil society, which interact with one another, whether in formal and informal ways; in formulating and implementing policies in response to environment-related demands and inputs from the society; bound by rules, procedures, processes, and widely-accepted behavior; for the purpose of attaining environmentally-sustainable development, a.k.a., "green growth."

Conceptualized by Ebinezer R. Florano in Florano (2008), "The Study of Environmental Governance: A Proposal for a Graduate Program in the Philippines." A conference paper read in the EROPA Seminar 2008 with the theme, "Governance in a Triptych: Environment, Migration, Peace and Order," held on 23-25 October 2008 at Traders Hotel in Pasay City, Philippines.

Resolve II: Charter Change, Napapanahon Na Nga Ba?


During the last years of the previous administration, clamor for Charter Change or Cha-Cha was high. The UP Samahan Tungo sa Progresibong Administrasyon (UP-STPA) sponsored a public forum to provide a much needed place for public discussion and to settle the issue on Cha-Cha. It was titled, “Resolve: Is Cha-Cha the way to Philippine Development?” Two years since the last forum, there is once again clamor for Charter Change and this time, we have a new administration. Thus, the UP-STPA decided to do a sequel on it entitled, "Resolve II: Charter Change, Napapanahon Na Nga Ba?” on 10 March 2011 (Thursday) at the Assembly Hall of the U.P. National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP-NCPAG) from 1:00pm – 5:00 pm. Admission is free.

Speakers from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government were invited to shed light on the topic. There will be reactions from the civil society. Details will be provided as soon as the invited speakers have confirmed their attendance. For inquiries, please contact Marlowe Popes at 0915-869-1671 or Chev Salvador at 0927-844-3919.

UP-STPA is a UP Diliman-registered organization founded in 1988. It is a two-time Gawad Chancellor awardee for Best Student Organization in 1996 and 1997.
